The Seafood Restaurant
The Seafood Restaurant, our flagship in Padstow, was founded by Rick and Jill Stein in 1975. Now 50 years on, it continues to celebrate fresh, quality fish and shellfish, simply cooked. Head Chef Pete Murt leads the team, serving classic dishes like lobster thermidor and Indonesian seafood curry, while showcasing local, sustainable seafood.
In 2024, the restaurant earned the AA Food Service Award for outstanding service and hospitality. Guests can enjoy a relaxed dining experience at the seafood bar, watching chefs at work and interacting with staff. Our wine list, curated by Charlie Stein, and cocktails crafted by award-winning barman Norbert complete the experience.
